Lovely review for What I See just in from Paul Freeman of Pop Culture Classics... wow, thanks, Paul! JUDY WEXLER - ”WHAT I SEE” When Judy Wexler sings, there’s a story in every song, every note, every syllable. In every moment, she stirs emotion. Her tone, her phrasing, her comprehension of lyric, ensure a rare and distinctive authenticity. Surrounding herself with gifted jazz musicians, Wexler makes a lasting impression on lovely tunes, familiar and obscure. While honoring Louis Armstrong’s revered version, she makes “A Kiss To Build A Dream On” her own. Other beauties include the expectant “Tomorrow Is Another Day,” a breezily swinging “They Say It’s Spring,” a provocative “Convince Me,” the tender, touching “A Certain Sadness.” The resilient “Laughing at Life,” one of Billie Holiday’s lesser known recordings, finds new life in Wexler’s caring hands. Wexler’s performances on “The Long Goodbye,” “Just For Now,” “Follow” and Benny Carter’s “Another Time, Another Place” are truly breathtaking. Pianist/producer Jeff Colella complements Wexler’s exquisite vocals with sensitive arrangements. Wexler is a consummate artist who makes each song an unforgettable journey.
